Thought the enclosed email looked familiar..... First question to Greg is: any idea when is a new set of diffs/patches will be made available. I have tried to incorporate the various diffspatches floating around on this list but I am having problems getting them to all apply/build.....It would be nice if everyone could submit their patches to a single person for deconfliction and inclusion into a weekly diff..just my 2 cents... Also, I do not know if this is possible or not, but I would like to toss it into the ring for discussion. But before I begin, let me put on my pointy Program Management hat...there thats better... What is the possiblility of having one person build and release a binary image that can be used by all that want to test but do not what to have to continously apply patches and rebuild. Maybe a protected or https connection that can be controlled so that a list of people who have downloaded it could be given to Sun or some other method else??? Because of the company I work for and the day-to-day research I perform, I have a vested interest in seeing jdk1.2.2 ported to FreeBSD (gotta help our stock price go up...) but I do not really have the time nor patients to constantly build/apply patch/rebuild/regression test/on/and/on/and/on....BUT I DO WANT TO HELP.. It also seems that if everyone (that wanted to) was testing against the same binaries we could achieve better and more consistant coverage in our testing of the JDK vice everyone rolling their own.... Just my 2 cents worth.....now I must take of this pointy hat they make me wear as a PM and go back to being a researcher that gets to do fun and wonderful things.... Regards, GRS --- Gary R.

Actually, apparently it now compiles with gcc 2.7.2.3, at least that what Greg mentioned a while back. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- From: Greg Lewis <glewis@trc.adelaide.edu.au> To: "Shaffer, Gary R" <GARY.R.SHAFFER@saic.com> Cc: freebsd-java@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Pre-alpha JDK 1.2.2 patches -- issues Date: Sat, 25 Mar 2000 07:50:37 +1030 (CST) Hi Gary, > I would like to help by testing the jdk.

Since I'm doing this in my free time, I wouldn't really like to tie myself down to a release schedule. Having said that, I am very hopeful of getting out a new set this weekend which will incorporate the more recent fixes and some excellent work by Kees Jan Koster to get things working under the standard FreeBSD 3.x version of gcc (2.7.2.3 I believe). ... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Nate To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
